Comparing Film Scans: Drum vs Flatbed vs DSLR
How does a drum scan vs a scan on an Epson V750 vs a scan with a digital SLR compare? How big are the differences and how much do they translate to the print?
So in this video, Nick Carver is comparing the print results from 3 different types of scans on 2 different types of film with 2 different types of printing processes/paper. We'll look at how they stack up in terms of sharpness, grain, dynamic range, dust, color, and workflow. Some of the results were as expected, some were quite a surprise.

What type and brand of drum scanner was used. Would have been interesting to know that and software they use. Linocolor?
On your negative film camera captures, I don't see a black mask to stop the light around the negative. May not have been a problem with your close up captures for stitching.
Any way, thanks for the demo.
